6 more sleeps and Kevin and Shan will be home for a visit

Wendell’s Mom finally had her surgery last night she fell Wednesday afternoon and broke her leg just above the knee. ( the same knee she had replaced a few years ago) soooo she was taken to Charlottetown that same day and has been waiting ever since to get in to have it repaired, which was a job in itself due to there not being much bone to attatch the pins to at the knee area.

At any rate she has been in and is doing well so far, apparently she will be about 5 weeks before she can put any weight on it.  That could be interesting .

We are having a get together here this evening some of the crew I worked with in the potatoe field are coming over to have a couple of drinks and catch up on what everyone is doing. It will be nice to see them , I haven’t seen any of them since we finished working.

I’m working on another baby Blanket, one of the guys I worked with in the fall just brought home their new baby boy, and his wife’s mother works with me at the tax center. I haven’t been to see the little guy yet, I want to finish the blanket first.

Karla went to Ch’town last night and bought A fish and she paid $50 for it !!!!!! ONE fish !!!! he’s pretty and all that but still $50 ?!?!!

Its a blue parrot fish.  At that price it will definately be a while before the tank is filled with tropical fish !! of course being the only one of his species in the tank he basically hides behind the plant life all the time, so Karla is thinking she will go get another one next payday (the pink one this time) if its still there when she gets paid again.basically from what I was told when I got the “cheap fish” was you should always buy them in pairs so that if there is an aggressive fish they will be MORE aggressive if they are the only one of their kind, so buy 2 but no more than 4 so that they stick together and don’t feel threatened.

I leave you today with a little haha

Its been cold as heck here the last few days, we’ve had wind chill warnings all over the island, It will definately be nice to see spring in a few months!!

A 5-year-old boy went to visit his grandmother one day. While

playing with his toys in her bedroom while grandma was dusting, he

looked up and

said, “Grandma, how come you don’t have a boyfriend?”

Grandma replied, “Honey, my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in

my bedroom and watch it all day long. The TV evangelists keep me

company and make

me feel good. The comedies make me laugh. I’m so happy with my TV

as my boyfriend.”

Then Grandma turned on the TV, and the reception was terrible.

She started adjusting the knobs, trying to get the picture in focus.

Frustrated, she

started hitting the backside of the TV hoping to fix the problem.

The little boy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the

door,and there stood Grandma’s minister.

The minister said, “Hello, son, is your grandma home?”

The little boy replied, “Yeah, she’s in the bedroom bangin’

her boyfriend.”

The minister fainted.
